First, thanks for trying to speak English, it's appreciated. Secondly, you should probably contact Steam Support. If your account has been hijacked and got you banned, then there's not much us survivors can do here on the forums.

Probably desync. .58 has very bad desync. Use UMPs for close range, they 1 shot

Perhaps it WAS a glitch then. My character is getting wiped a lot too. .58 is a terrible update. Was there anyone attacking you? Did you hear gunshots? Any sign of human activity?

Can I ask what Sniper Rifle you used? Also, you don't need a full ghillie suit to successfully hide yourself. Although you'll be practically invisible wearing one,you only really need it for gun wrap and the head. These items provide excellent camouflage to successfully hide you in woodland environments (in this case, the Forest bordering Cherno) Ghillie Head, Woodland or Moss pattern (Moss is probably better in this case) If you don't have time to make a ghillie head or gun wrap, spray paint your gun green or black and wear either a beige balaclava, a green balaclava or a camo face mask AND Bandana. Summer or Autumn Hunting Jacket(the camo patterns on these two really blend in on forest surfaces- the other hunting jackets are okay but they have one colour so they don't break up your silhouette very well.) DPM Assault Vest- DPM pattern breaks your outline up better than other assault vest patterns. It also provides extra carrying capacity and protects you against bullets. Summer/Autumn Hunting Pants or UMSC Woodland Pants Any brown, beige or green boots I discourage against using backpacks but the ones that blend in the best are Hunting Packs, Improvised Backpacks and SPOSN Tortilla Backpacks. If you want to blend in with urban environments, wear grey or navy colours and preferably play at night in urban environments. The choice of rifle is also very important. AVOID: Trumpets- can be fitted with a hunting scope, stealthy but weak damage and low range. Repeaters: Excellent as a semi automatic combat rifle but does not have sniper capabilities Izh43- Avoid this flimsy piece of shit at all costs. DOUBLE EDGED SWORDS: SKS: This rifle packs a high clip size, a nice range, a high fire rate and reasonable damage. However, it's key drawback is that it can't be fitted with a sniper scope,only a 3.5x PU Scope. Pick this rifle if you're covering shorter ranges such as sniping small alleyways and town centres. Mosin: This rifle packs beautiful damage, has excellent range and beautiful accuracy. This rifle is very fun to use. It was THE sniper rifle of dayZ before it's sniper scope was removed in .57. The main drawback to the Mosin is that it can only be fitted with a PU Scope. Sporter: Excellent stealth sniper. Packs a high clip size of 30, makes next to no noise, has almost no muzzle flash and quite good accuracy. The .22 round is also quite common. However,mags are rare and the damage is so low you might as well be shooting peas. Can down a poorly armed player in 1-2 shots and a well geared player in 7+ shots. BEST SNIPER RIFLES: Blaze 95: Superb damage,range and accuracy. If the first shot misses, the second one will. Drawback is that it only holds 2 shots, not ideal for squad wiping or large groups. SVD: The best sniper rifle in the game. Can down a player in one shot and outclasses other Snipers by far. However, the rarity is not worth the time. Winchester: The new Mosin. If you find this rifle, keep it and use it. Treat it with love. Make love to this rifle. It is a beautiful rifle. Have fun with your future sniping experiences!

Sorry, re-read this. There were no windows. So you were probably sniped because of bullet penetration. You don't just die automatically from server glitches. You were just really unlucky and got sniped through a wall. Not sure why you thought it was a good idea to combat log in the middle of an apartment l in the most PvP-intense city in Chernarus, so I recommend you be more careful when you log out. You see, your character doesn't disappear instantly when he logs out. He stays for 30 or so seconds, completely still, meaning it's important to get out of the hot zone or hide before you log out. The apartment probably wasn't the best sniping spot in Cherno- you don't get much coverage from the Cherno apartments. Again, either snipe from the treeline or find a tall building, especially near the industrial areas.

Firstly, urban sniping clearly isn't your strong suit. You should've found some camo-patterned clothes or a ghillie suit and sniped from the treeline. An important question here is- did you log out in front of the window or behind cover?

I usually get stuck on the 'Spawning in X seconds' 'Wait for Host' screens for like 2 minutes, or I get on the server and the game freezes as soon as I spawn in. I then get the message 'Session lost'. I often get the 'No connection for X seconds' when I join servers. Is this a problem on my end or the game's end?

I have multiple users, although I've never really had any connection problems until the last couple of weeks. Recently, my youtube videos have been playing in poor resolution and are buffering a lot. I have a wireless adaptor for my PC if that helps.

Holy shit, congrats!

Annoyingly, there's not much you can do about it. It's a known issue that has been addressed by the devs and currently being worked on.

DayZ's performance would be terrible if you had a NASA grade PC. It is not optimised for public builds yet

0.58 is painfully boring, laggy and giltchy. There are no zombies, so the game has become a reattach. This means no player interaction, because people are just killing each other because they're bored and need to burn off ammo. There's no incentive to do more with the game because of no zombies and the lag. Loot is also way too easy to find. I find it so dull because it is so easy to get loaded AKs, MP5s etc. 0.59 will inevitably bring some more fixes and updates to CLE, so things like civilian rifles become more uncommon. This will make the game more immersive. Furthermore, 0.58 has been horrible in terms of bugs and character wipes. My character has been wiped multiple times and one time,hackers killed everyone oh my server. I had an M4, which is extremely rare. I am really looking forward to the .59 patch

They should be back in .59, if the developers stay true to their word.

Having PVE areas would be a bad idea. DayZ is about trust. As much as I love meetups, RP, trading posts etc, I wouldn't want an entire portion of the map to be limited to PVE. DayZ is about unpredictability. You'll just have to trust people if you want to do RP, or organise a meetup and hire some guards to stop bandits from tearing the place down. Besides, the developers have enough on their plates as is. We need optimisation and working zombies before we have PVE areas.

Yeah, sorry about the server-hopping. I've stopped recently, because I realised how boring and scummy it was. I played on a high pop server, armed only with a shotgun and a blaze with no more than 5 rounds. It was so much more fun. I'm going to be doing this more often. Again, I apologise if I have ruined the experience for other people, but the truth is, I've never really gotten in many PVP situations. I usually die from zombies or glitches. When .59 is out, I will definitely stop the serverhopping. I just don't see the point in not doing it right now because there is nothing to fight for in .58 due to no zombies. The game is basically deathmatch mode, so I might as well get good gear. I promise you, that will change, and I realised in my recent playthrough how stupid Serverhopping is. I remember on my recent playthrough, I was hiding in a deer stand with my shotgun, taking fire from all sides. I heard gunshots everywhere and realised how helpless my player was with his shotgun and 3 rounds. Now, if zombies were added to that... It would be so much fun

I agree. It's like the developers went AFK, permanently.

Hi, you have probably seen me on this forum before, because I'm a big fan of DayZ. Firstly, I'd like you guys to rate my current looting route, and hopefully you can give me suggestions. I generally loot from: Polana -----> Gorka -----> Stary -----> Kabanino ----> NWAF and then I would do PvP at the airfield. Any suggestions/advice? Also, what loot runs do you guys do? I'm kind of bored with the one I use right now, because there's so much to explore in DayZ. Also, the route listed above takes a very long time because there's a lot of towns to loot. I'm looking for a route that preferably involves a visit to Myshkino and/or NWAF but any route that produces good military loot, industrial loot or good civilian rifles (eg Winchesters, Blazes) is fine. I also need a place to get things like hunting backpacks or mountain packs. Thanks!

Thanks, I shall try this out. You might also want to try Polana ----> Gorka ------> Stary ----> Kabanino ----> NWAF and then server hop to your heart's content at the NWAF. You can stock up on civilian loot and food in Polana, then continue to stock up on food, water and medical supplies at the various houses and the hospital in Gorka. The Gorka Police Station is also the best police station in the game, in my opinion- you can find an abundance of MP5s, PM73s and CR75s (all of these are needed if you want any hope of surviving at the military bases). Then, you can have a quick loot run through the Stary military camp, perhaps stock up on supplies at stary and kabanino, and then grab all the high powered gear at the airfield. I always find UMPs, AKs and AUGs at the airfield. I have also found an M4, but only ONCE. They are extremely rare, even if you try to use the loot farming exploit.

It seems like it's going to be a long time until 0.59. My first question is, when will zombies be added back? Will they be able to add zombies back into the game through a 0.58 hotfix or will we have to wait for months until 0.59 comes out? The game has basically turned into deathmatch mode (except you have to spend 6 hours getting good guns) because of the lack of zombies and the loot exploits with CLE, so I hope this can all be fixed. This leads onto my second question. What about loot exploits? The game's loot sucks right now because the only place where you can get good military loot is in those office tents at Myshkino and NWAF, so looting normal military bases is absolutely pointless, and the NWAF has become a deathmatch zone due to the lack of zombies and the cluster of loot at the airfield. With the implementation of the Central Loot Economy in 0.58, will the developers be releasing a hotfix to stop loot exploits in the office huts at the NWAF/Myshkino, and to start spawning loot in places like Camo Buildings and normal barracks? My third question is, when will the game be getting optimised? Will 0.59 have optimisation, or will we have to wait until beta? Thank you for reading this.

Release dates? Updates from the devs? Anything?

Posted this in the wrong place by accident. Please move this to the correct place as soon as possible.

I've had this problem before. I think it's something to do with graphics but it sort of just fixed on it's own for me. Try messing around with your graphics settings and making sure the object/texture detail is high.

Me, my friend Jordan and his friend Charlie were playing on a server. We were the only ones on the server, and Jordon has been using it for months without any problems. Today, me and Jordan were looting Stary and Charlie was in Berezino, when we all died suddenly. We all got the 'You are dead' message at the same time, and there was no apparent cause for it. Jordan went back to where we died almost immediately after we respawned, and our bodies were nowhere to be find. We died right in the open, too, so our bodies had definitely vanished because of glitches. We want to know what's caused this and how/when it will be fixed, because I'm pretty annoyed about losing my custom M4 for no reason.

They sound like good ideas (especially having a pet dog) but the loot table thing could easily be used for exploiting (for example, if the server owner wanted an M4, they could stop everything except M4s from spawning)

I wasn't actually loot hopping. I searched for a while for extremely low pop servers and I found the server I was on. Then, I just stayed on that server while I geared up.
